Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-474:
------------------------------------
Tal, thanks for your feedback! Don't take the long silence to mean this won't
be addressed. We're all volunteers doing this in our spare time. Generally
issues with patches get addressed faster, especially if the patch has a junit
test to prove that it works. (This is not always possible, but generally
speaking.)
> MongoDBProvider won't work with databases that don't have authentication set

> Key: LOG4J2-474
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-474
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Appenders
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
> Reporter: Tal Liron
>
> The problem is in line 178:
> {code}
> if (!database.isAuthenticated()) {
> {code}
> This assumes that isAuthenticated() returns true when authentication isn't
> need. However, that is incorrect: databases without authentication configured
> will return false here, in which case the provider will not be able to work
> them.
> I suggest simply removing this "if" (and also the "else" code from 183-187)
> -- if authentication is required, errors will happen soon enough.
> Unfortunately the MongoDB API doesn't let you know this until you try.
